Chương 79: Chapter 79 He Got The Necklace

**Ethan’s POV

The maps on my desk were beginning to blur together. Mostly, I was thinking about the war efforts—but sometimes about other matters.

Rosalie. The baby. The letter.

I couldn’t think about it. I couldn’t let my mind go there, not at all…

She had made her request of me, and I needed to honor that and live my life the way she wished. Except, how could I be happy without her?

I looked at the maps again, concentrating on the new Xs we’d drawn for the new attacks, trying to come up with a plan. It was late, and most of the others had long gone to bed.

So I was surprised when there was a knock at my door.

At first, I thought perhaps I had imagined it. I looked up, waiting to see if I heard it again. Instead, the door opened just a bit, and Talon stuck his head in.

We hadn’t talked much since he’d told me the truth about Rosalie. I was angry at him, but I knew I really needed to be thinking about my own actions in this entire matter.

I wasn’t ready for that yet.
